Hi Bob (or Thomas?),

this is exactly my problem - I don't seem to have a "myDrawerOutlet" variable to send a message to.

As I said, I am a newbie - I am more familiar with the windows world, where when you drop controls/widgets onto forms then you get variables defined behind the scenes that let you access those widgets. XCode/IB don't seem to do this - if I do a search for "drawer" in my entire project, it comes up blank - even though i have a drawer!

Ideas?

Cheers,

Simply send the message toggle to your drawer:

[myDrawerOutlet toggle:self];

(note you'll need to connect up the drawer outlet in IB). Just a quick note - Drawers are evil, if you can avoid it, don't use it.

Hey folks - i'm very much a newbie here, so forgive the stupid question:

I have created an app with a drawer, and a button that is wired (in IB) to the "toggle:" method of the NSDrawer - this is all "automagic" IB stuff - no code.

Now I've changed my app to have a toolbar, and am trying to figure out how to wire up a toolbar item to the "toggle:" method instead. I've got as far as creating the toolbar, adding an item, and writing a method for the "click" - but i don't know how to access the method of the NSDrawer since I don't have any reference to it thru code (it's all just in IB).

Any ideas - as I said, I'm a complete newbie...

Cheers.
